All are welcome; RSVP’s encouraged. Best, Camille Gamboa 805-410-7441 Federal Research Funding: Where We Are and What You Can Do to Help Saturday, January 25 at 11am - Light brunch provided With troubling economic times come repercussions for federally-funded research in organizations such as the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. For example, in March of 2013, an amendment was passed that restricted NSF grants for political science research, leading to the complete cancellation of all political science grants by the NSF for the fall 2013 cycle. Come listen to Tom Kecskemethy, Executive Director of the American Academy of Political and Social Science and Mark Vieth, Government Relations Consultant, to learn about this and other attacks on federal research funding, what we are doing about it, and how the library community can get involved.
